ROY PAUL' MILLER Davis, or Monn'rfnnron, PENNSYLVANIA." e l sLIcKn'Rj y Application ledr- August 14, 1926. Serial No. 129,180. i

My invention relates to slickers and more particularly to rotary slickers employedin slicking machine made brick i -In the manufacture of brick, afterV the charge of mud has" been projected into or 1 otherwise deposited Withinthe brickinold,

my invention the surplus material is removed and thetop of the brick slicked or smoothed by meansV of a rapidly rotating slicker Which is either moved across and in Contact with the top face of the mold While the vmold is held staf,

tionary, or the mold maybe moved beneath' the slicker andthe latter held stationary eX-r cept for its rotary movement during this op,- eration. -ln practicing either method conf siderable difiiculty has been experienced Adue 'f to the fact'thatthefmold contacting surface,l Y

or what may be termed the bottom. face of the slicker disks Wear more rapidly at and adjacent to their periphery than at thecenv ter, thus necessitating frequent refinishing to present the required perfectly flat surface.

My invention has for its object to, rovercome the objectionable uneven Wearing of the slickers by forming the slicker disk With a centrally disposed viiisert'of softer mate-l Vrial, or vone having less Wearing qualities than the 'surroundingror peripheral portion Vof the slicker disk. f f VInthe accompanying drawings wherein I` have, illustrated a preferred embodimentof Figure l is a top plan-vievvfof the slicker insert; and j j e f y FigureV 2 is a'rsection on the line 2f2 of '-Figure l.

j Referring moreL particularly to the dravvi ings 5 denotes a slicker. disk preferably of steel lor iron adapted to be connected to they usual Vslicker stem (not shown) by any suitable fasteners (also not shown) at the points 6. rlhe bottom face of the 'disk is formed i With a relatively deep circular'recessS leaving a `relatively thin top centraljportionor;

Wall 9 and a relatively thick beveled periph-j eral portion 1Q, the latterV having arelatively i narrow/Wearing face 1`0f.A l'Iheyvall 9 is formed vvjvvith Vdove-tail openings 11, prefer- 'Y ably four in numberandarranged 'atequalv 'l distances apart.V ,Y Y

Inserted Within the centrally disposedcir-k sistency than vthe material froinvvhich the.

sli'cker disk is'made. Inv practice I have found that inserts of babbitt or'lead, When used With the steel 'or iron slickerdisk have the desired wearing qualities and that .a' l j Slicker so made Wears uniformly, the mold contacting surfacey of the slicker 'remaining itat until the slicker disk is completely Worn out.Y Hoiveven-fdi'sk shaped inserts of other` 'material such as Wood andthe liker have proven relatively satisfactory in anironj'or' steel disk,A vvliencentrally positionedvsubstan# tially as shown inthe drawings.

There an inse-rt of vvmetal such asbabbitt or lead is einployedgvthe insert is preferably poured. 'Y Y j Having thus described my invention, What lclaiin as my invention is: 1 f

l. A rotary rslicker disk of hard material khaving a centrally disposed circular recess rformed in its bottom face, and an insert of relativelysoft material inserted in said recess. l' v e. a rotary Sucker' disk @time Vmamihaving a centrally.` disposed circular recess formed in its vbottoml face, said disk having so Ea peripheral slicking face or surface encircling-saidreces's, andan insert of relatively f softv material completely filling said recess fand flush With said Aperipheral yslickiiig face. disk illustrating the manner of securing the material completely filling Vsaid recess and v*flush Vwith said peripheral slicking face, the

diametervofsaid peripheral slicking face be- Y v Ving considerablyless than the ldiameterof'f said insert. v Y A* 4c. A rotary slicker disk having'v aperiph- Y havingaicentrally disposed circular recess peripheral slicking face orsurface encircling 'Y eral slicking face of hard material and a centrally disposed. disk shaped slicking face vof relatively softer material.k i
